Stairway doors in the William Len Hotel, Memphis, Tennessee. Eugene J. Stern,
Little Rock, Arkansas, Architect.
The door illustrated here is typical of all first and second floor stairway doors and elevator entrances in the new William Len Hotel. They are part of the complete installation of stairway doors and elevator enclosures furnished and erected in the building by Thorp.
A striking, modern effect has been obtained through the use of Monel Metal doors with etched panels. Stiles and rails are satin finish, flat surfaces of panels are polished, and the background of etchings are natural color. Frames and trim are dead black. Doors are of hollow construction.
